Challenging situation with the upstream Nox sensor.
CyberMage replied to WhisperingWillow's topic in General Car Chat
I have been experiencing the Nox sensor problem for a considerable period of time with my 2015 E-Class cabriolet. The issue began when I brought my vehicle in for the airbag recall and explicitly declined the software update. After a few days, the dashboard warning light illuminates. I connect a diagnostic tool to the vehicle and it indicates a fault with the NOx sensor in bank 1. I am able to reset the error code a few times, but eventually it remains permanently on. I have been driving for many months without any impact on the car's performance. After doing extensive study, I had planned to undertake the task of modifying it myself or, at the very least, cleaning it beforehand. It did not seem too difficult, but I would need to acquire the necessary coding skills. Regardless, I decided to give MB a try. It wouldn't hurt to attempt to get a new nox sensor via persuasion. To my astonishment, they agreed and are replacing both free of charge! What on earth! I did not need to implore, beseech, or negotiate! The only requirement was that I had to do a software "upgrade," which would inform the technician if the nox sensors needed replacement or not. I find it amusing that I engaged in a conversation where I expressed my thoughts honestly. However, it is unacceptable to have vehicles equipped with fraudulent software. When my car was taken for the airbag recall, it is likely that some software was installed, resulting in the nitrogen oxide (NOx) fault. Consequently, I am compelled to return to Mercedes to have the software updated, which, according to the technician, improves fuel efficiency and the dosage of AdBlue. Regardless, he just grinned in response to my candid discussion about conspiracies. I received information over the phone that the downstream NOx sensor in my car was subject to a recall. However, it required a software update. I was compelled to comply with this requirement and had no alternative. Interestingly, there is a significant delay of 4 to 6 weeks in obtaining the sensors, which means my vehicle will be out of service for a few weeks, coinciding with the expiration of my MOT. The car in question is an MB a207 from the year 2015. There is no recorded history of the vehicle at MB, but it was bought from MB Wolverhampton in 2018. Approximately 4 months ago, a warning light for the NOx sensor on bank 1 appeared. However, this did not have any impact on the vehicle's performance, and all other aspects, including the adblue system, were functioning normally. Contacted MB Wolverhampton, who would install free of charge after doing a software update. -
Is there a way to prevent soapy water from entering the engine compartment when washing the car? I spend additional time washing soap from the engine compartment, cleaning all the glass surfaces, and placing towels on the carbon covers to prevent wet stains from forming.

I am curious about the efficacy of this method in the present context. In my opinion, while it may be considered outdated, the process of resetting oil and brakes remains consistent, suggesting the possibility of their similarity. -
The subject matter is very intriguing. I have lately divested myself of my 2009 CLK automobile. However, I am familiar with the same olfactory sensation to which you are referring. In my recollection, the 2003 model we previously had did not have such a pronounced aroma, although it has long since departed from our possession. On a particular occasion, I initiated a telephone conversation with my spouse when she was engaged in a specific activity, during which she had recently offered transportation to an acquaintance. The acquaintance, upon entering the vehicle, expressed admiration for its aesthetic qualities, but also inquired about a peculiar scent reminiscent of crayons. That accurately encapsulated the concept. I had previously been unable to discern the underlying reason, but upon her utterance, I immediately recognised the connection with crayons. The user's response is brief and lacks academic tone. The experience was not unfavourable, and I had become used to it, but I am curious to ascertain the underlying cause. Several acquaintances made comments such as "It possesses the distinct aroma of a Mercedes" because they had comparable C&E courses, implying the utilisation of same resources. I can verify that there is a discernible difference in the olfactory perception of the inside of My S202 and our W166 vehicles compared to the CLK models. This disparity may be attributed to variances in both the age and composition of the materials used in their construction.

Is NG07YVS Missing or Seen? It's an MPS in red

The photograph was taken in the year 2011, at a period when the forum was actively organizing gatherings. The aforementioned location pertains to St Mary's Lighthouse situated in Whitley Bay. Regrettably, that constituted one of our last encounters. The members shown a lack of willingness to organize any more activities. The escalating expenses associated with gasoline and other hindrances rendered the continuation of the endeavor unfeasible. -

Similarly, my experience aligns with Mazda. It is nice to see the presence of familiar individuals. 😇 -

Indeed, it is the correct one. I have successfully located the original identification number of the subject in question, and it seems that the vehicle is now not in use. -
It has been a considerable duration since my last visit to this platform. Nevertheless, I have recently had a sense of sorrow for my former MPS. I am curious if anybody has observed it? It seems that the taxes have not been paid and the vehicle's MOT (Ministry of Transport) certification has expired for an extended period of time.

I am seeking assistance on my Mazda Demio 2015 model equipped with a 1.3-liter petrol engine. The vehicle in question was imported directly from Japan and is equipped with a built-in navigation system. The application incorporates both the Japanese and English languages. Is it feasible to convert software from a Japanese to a European language? The software version installed on the automobile is 3.0.0056.0300, originating from Japan.

The OM607, a Renault-derived engine used in early A-class Mercedes cars, was the last Mercedes engine to use a timing belt.

A entire generation of Ferrari engines, it seems (they've since switched back to chains), required an engine replacement every 30,000 miles since they employed toothed belts instead of engine timing chains. When you're in a Ferrari dealership, you're looking at four digits. See an illustration here.

Look up "Morgan 3-wheel bevel gearbox" on YouTube; the rear wheel is driven by a toothed belt from the gearbox's output. Morgan, P.G.Bleazey Improved gearbox for tricycles With the bevel box unsprung/fixed, the rear drive wheel may presumably be rotated vertically. A toothed belt drive? I thought BMW motorcycles used to have such.

However, the stock firmware in our 1965 Mazda 3 is performing perfectly. A few upgrades had been made to my 2015 Mazda 6, but the car still had a will of its own. If it's not broken, don't fix it.

Andy, do you happen to have any information on the release date in the UK? I have subscribed to the official Mazda 'we'll keep you updated' emails, but I have not yet received any communication from the company. In my opinion, there is no way that it will be accessible in five weeks.
